A Nottinghamshire boxer will be fighting a former two-time world title challenger in a fight for a Commonwealth championship. On March 25, Emma Dolan, of Newark, will be fighting Halima Vunjabei in the first ever female super flyweight Commonwealth title fight which will take place at Newark Showground.
Emma has been boxing since she was nine-years-old and has been training for around 20 hours each week as she prepares for her toughest fight. The 24-year-old has so far taken part in four professional fights and remains undefeated.
Emma explained that due to the upcoming fight she has increased how much time she spends training as it will "make it easier for me to train harder and just give it that bit extra". She added: "This is the first time that females have got the chance to fight for the title which is really exciting."
